Below is a brief summary of Chief Robert Redfeather Stevenson's in his own words:

I am learned in the ways of my people. My tribal affiliation is with the Montaukett. Our tradition is of the Matriarchal society. My father’s people are Lenape.

Raised in New Jersey and New York, I am a member of the AIM society. I have sat at council with my grandmother’s people of Iroquois long houses. I have accepted the great peace and taken shelter under the long leaves of that tree. I was voted in as Chief/Trustee for the benefit of my people. I have fiercely dedicated my life for justice of our people. I have traveled and fought all over Turtle Island in that quest.

I am a Montaukett, my ancestors were warriors. I am a warrior of my people. I take nothing from my Nation, only my existence. To our people the Long Island burial places are sacred and the sites are hallowed ground. In order to belong to a land the routes of a tree of your life must grasp the rocks and soil.

The Montauketts are part of the formative processes of Long Island. We are vested; we have been born and reborn on this land. Our bodies are formed from the dust of our ancestor’s bones. Our quest will never end for our land. It should be understood the only descents future that lives in America now, is to re-discover our fragile environment and to establish a relationship with the lands and resources. Otherwise the destruction of all nature will follow.

The 2013 ADVOCATES FOR CULTURAL & HISTORICAL EDUCATION AWARDS takes place on Wednesday, April 24, 2014, 6pm to 8pm, at The Woodlands Mansion, Woodbury. N.Y.. To register or for more information, call Tracey Gittere at (516) 222-0550 or TGittere@LegendaryEvents.net
